Immediately afterwards, Zhu Biao told his thoughts, Zhu Su listened quietly on the side, and gradually understood what Zhu Biao meant.

Zhu Biao believes that the problem of the Ming military is not that the generals are powerful, and the Ming generals are like clouds, and they are not worried about which generals alone are powerful and affect the central government. The Ming Dynasty also encouraged the martial artists to obtain military merits and fight for themselves to create a feudal territory.

However, Daming didn't want the generals to have no bottom line, and use improper methods that damaged Daming's heritage like Ma Ye to gain military merit for themselves. I don't want the generals to be like Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng and a group of fellow partymen, thinking that they have military merits, and some evil deeds are harmless, and they use the privileges given to them by the imperial court to cause trouble to the local area and the party.

All in all, Zhu Biao believes that the biggest problem of the Ming army is that morality is not matched.

The imperial court gave the military a very high status, however, the bottom line of most people in the military was too low, and the status given to them by the imperial court made them fearless and hindered local administration. In the future, An Zhi will know that there will be people like Ma Ye, who will take risks with the intention of killing good people and risking their merits.

"My father is the founding emperor, and I have a few of your famous brothers to help my brother, and among the martial artists, I can be regarded as a speaker...... But the emperors and princes in the future will be longer than the deep palace, how can they suppress the military generals? Zhu Biao glanced at the direction of the apse and said.

Zhu Su knew that he was worried about Zhu Xiongying.

However, if you elevate civil officials, you may not be able to see that Ming Dynasty embark on the same historical cycle of civil dictatorship and then fall into party strife. That's why I want to reform the military system. ”

"Reforming the military system is not a trivial matter." Zhu Su shook his head and said. "The eldest brother wants to take the act of 'defending the country and protecting the people' as the first thing to remember. But the matter is big, and the Ming Dynasty counts the military households in various places, and there are enough millions of troops. Changing military law is tantamount to making all the military forces suddenly change their style of conduct, and it is not so easy. ”

"I know for my brother. But at this time, with my father and emperor in charge, it is the best opportunity to change my Ming military law and change the atmosphere of my Ming military. Zhu Biao said. And, through the matter of Ma Ye, I have already played this matter to the court. This part has already been added to the regulations in the army. ”

Because of the punishment of Ma Ye, who wanted to force the good people to take credit, it can be shown that the original way of remembering merit in the Ming Dynasty was flawed...... Therefore, Zhu Biao's decision to add a new military law was not well opposed by the major military bosses of the Ming Dynasty on this cusp.

"But the effect ......" Zhu Biao raised his neck and drank a glass of wine, while smiling bitterly behind him. But there are very few ......."

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Biao informed Zhu Su that a few days ago, the disaster in Baoding Mansion almost provoked a popular uprising.

It turned out that there was a white disaster in Baoding Mansion a few days ago, hail fell from the sky, and there was heavy snow, which collapsed the people's houses and closed the official road. The prefect of Baoding Prefecture should write in response to the sky, praying for the support of the imperial court.

This is a great opportunity to practice the new military law, and Zhu Biaodang ordered the general of the Baoding Left Guards to lead the troops to rush to the aid of the people, shovel the snow for the people, and build houses, so as to show the example of the Ming and benevolent teachers.

originally thought that the rescue of the people would be remembered, and the officers and soldiers of these guards would inevitably flock to it. Unexpectedly, after these soldiers and ruffians entered the city, they took advantage of the disaster of the people, in the name of disaster relief for the people, entered the people's houses without permission, forcibly seized the people's property, and even insulted the women in the city, and their families sued the government, and the messengers sent by the prefect's yamen were directly beaten out by the command of the guard post who guarded the short.

Originally, it was just a small white disaster, but because the officers and soldiers entered the city to "provide disaster relief," the people's resentment boiled over and almost caused a catastrophe. After Zhu Biao heard about it, he was angry, and with the consent of Lao Zhu, he immediately ordered the arrest of a total of 18 generals and a number of soldiers, which calmed down the public grievances in Baoding Mansion. What Zhu Biao is even more sad about is actually the failure of the reform of the new military law.

There is an extra way to get military merits, and those black-hearted generals and officers will only think of eating both ends, on the one hand, they use their fame to loot the people, and on the other hand, they continue to deceive the court and earn military merits...... Where is the appearance of a teacher of benevolence and righteousness?

"For brother, what should I do? Please also ask the fifth brother to teach me! Zhu Biao said solemnly.

One generation does what one generation does. As the founder of the country, what Lao Zhu has to do is to be like Genghis Khan in the past, taking advantage of the fact that the Ming Dynasty is still sharp, with his supreme majesty, to sit in the Ming Dynasty to expand the territory and lay a big world for future generations...... And he Zhu Biao, as the second generation of the future monarch of the Ming Dynasty, what he has to do is to explore a new style of observance that is applicable to the current Ming Dynasty.

Avoid the Ming Dynasty, like the Mongol Empire in the past, after the death of Genghis Khan, because of the lack of governing the country, it quickly fell apart and fell apart.

At this level, Zhu Biao's task is even heavier than that of Lao Zhu.

In the old way of balancing the emperor, which is no longer applicable to the existing Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao is painstakingly exploring how future generations of kings should keep the new way of governing the country of their ancestors. Reforming the old military law is the first step that Zhu Biao wants to do. He desperately hoped that Zhu Su would be able to give him feasible advice.

Zhu Su thought for a while, consciously understood Zhu Biao's appeal, and then slowly spoke: "Big brother hopes that my Ming soldiers can have the bottom line of 'benevolence and righteousness' like the literati, and there can be more generals who can truly care about the world, is that so?" ”

"Yes, exactly." Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, "Does the fifth brother have a strategy?" ”

"In that case, why not lead the troops with scholars?" Zhu Su said.

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then said solemnly: "What is the fifth brother talking about, the scholar leads the troops, how can this be done?" ”

"Although scholars have a certain sense of benevolence and righteousness, they dare not risk the condemnation of the world to do harm to the people...... However, the soldiers are also the important weapons of the country. Can An pay lightly to the literati? ”

"One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted. Literati Bingjun, isn't it a repeat of the mistakes of the former Song Dynasty? Cannot. ”

"Moreover, the seizure of military power and the dominance of the Wenchen family are a disaster for the country! How could the fifth brother have such an idea! ”

"Big brother, don't be impatient, literati, and scholars, can't be regarded as ordinary." Zhu Su said with a smile.

"Literati, martial artists, why should they be defined by reading? Nowadays, there are many new scholars who learn to wear swords and bow masters, in order to make them not forget their own flesh and blood even if they are any civil officials, and have the courage to draw their swords. And the same is true of the warriors. ”

"Since the eldest brother wants them to know the righteousness of the people, why didn't he think about it and let them read and write directly?"
